Heee hee ha haa haaa ....

I just went to that site and found something I wanted for a
long time...

----------------------------------------------

Scientific Miscellany. [The Galaxy. / Volume 24, Issue 1, July 1877]

"Mr. iluggins, who has, after repeated trials, succeeded in photographing
the spec- trum of a star (a Lyrw), found in this first photograph evidence
that sustains a former conjecture of his, that calcium is a mixture of
elements, and not single. This conclusion was previously reached by direct
experiments on the spectrum of the metal. Now the confirmation arises from
the fact that in this new pho- tograph of the stars spectrum one of the
lines of calcium is wanting, proving to Mr. Huggins that it is not a
simple element. In such brilliant ways do the correlated methods of
investigation prove each other."

Haa haaa haaa... what a riot!!!

This is going to be fun...
